Passionate, purpose-driven, and always ready for the next adventure, I bring boundless energy to everything I do - whether it's climbing mountains, sparring in Muay Thai, or rallying a community around a cause I believe in. As the Development and Community Relations Manager at Feeding Our Communities Partners, I am a connector at heart, driven by a mission to ensure every child has access to the food they need to thrive.
Outside of my work in the non-profit sector, I find joy in the wild - from hiking trails to horseback riding to diving headfirst into new experiences. I am a lifelong learner who says yes first and figures it out on the way up (or down!). If you're looking to collaborate, create impact, or swap stories about your favorite hike, I'm in!
Feeding Our Communities Partners (FOCP) mobilizes volunteers and resources to provide supplemental food assistance to food insecure youth in the greater Mankato region who might otherwise go hungry. We provide every child, regardless of circumstance, healthy and reliable food access on weekends and school breaks at no cost. Our mission is to engage our community in solving youth hunger, creating a community where hunger is no longer what stands between a child and their success.
I'm looking to connect with compassionate business owners, community leaders, and philanthropically minded individuals who believe no child should go hungry. If you know someone who's passionate about making a tangible impact, someone who wants their giving to directly support local kids and strengthen our community, I'd love an introduction. A warm referral could spark a partnership that helps fill backpacks, lunch boxes and futures with hope.
someone who believes every child deserves to grow, learn and thrive without the burden of hunger. It's a compassionate individual or organization who sees the power of philanthropy to change lives and wants to be part of that story. Whether they're a potential donor, sponsor, or community champion, their support can turn empty stomachs into full hearts and futures. Every introduction is more than a name - it's a chance to create real, lasting impact for kids who need it most.
